Only those who were at the stake BBQ will truly understand that title!
I have posted some new recipes on my other blog to get everyone in the mood for Cinco De Mayo - enjoy! And email me your favorites too!
By the way, I made the sausage spinach bake casserole last night. It had a quiche-like consistency that I LOVED. Total winner. Try it!

On the first weekend of every month, you can get in free when you show your Bank of America card - I believe it might only be TWO people per card... but still, I might have to sign up for a B of A card to try it out!

Mother's Day 101
Following is a list of things that young mothers would love to hear (and receive) for Mother's Day (because as much as we moms adore hand-drawn cards from 2-year-olds and burnt toast delivered to us at 6am in bed, come on, we deserve a little more).
** Note to young husbands: These will require a little advance planning, so choose which of the following scenarios would be most appropriate for your family (ie. how much you love your wife) and make your plans accordingly.
** Another note to young husbands: No cash for an elaborate gift? No worries. Each of the following ideas also provides a way to pay for itself. Because budget-conscious, coupon-cutting young moms do NOT want you to spend money you shouldn't.
A) "Honey, I've taken my lunch to work for a week. Here's the $25 I would have spent - go buy yourself a Stephenie Meyer book and spend the day by the pool. I'll take the kids."
B) "Honey, I've taken my lunch to work for a month. In addition to this Stephenie Meyer book I got you, which I've wrapped beautifully myself, I saved enough money to hire a carpet cleaner. Take the day off, I'll take the kids, and by the time you get home, there will hardly be proof that children live here. "
C) "Honey, I've taken my lunch for three months, biked to work to save gas, and only showered in cold water to save on the electric bill. Here is your Route 44 Diet Vanilla Coke from Sonic, just the way you like it. Your Stephenie Meyer book is in your car, (which I had detailed yesterday! It no longer smells like formula and chicken nuggets!) along with your beach towel, ready for the pool. I also organized a lunch date for you and your girlfriends; they will meet you at noon. Your pedicure appointment is at 1:00pm. Yes, it includes the sugar scrub - you're my eternal companion and you're worth it! And here's $50 - go buy yourself some shoes. The carpet cleaner will be here in a few minutes. I've already stripped all the beds; everyone will have clean linens and freshly made beds by the time you get home. The kids and I will spend the day dusting. Don't worry about being home early, I will put the kids to bed, afterwhich I will do the dishes, fold the laundry and scrub all the toilets. I love you!"

An eye for an eye?
No, maybe not - but we're all equal over here with a tooth for a tooth. Josh has two so far, after one on the top came in this week - and now Allison's lost tooth #2 on the bottom. "Look Mom! The hole's big enough for me to stick my tongue through!"
By the way, here's a shot of Allison's "gray" tooth in all its un-photoshopped glory. We're all looking forward to THAT one falling out!

Spirit Week
Today was "crazy hair day" at Allison's school. And here's the proof. I have a knack for Who-ish hair, don't I? I should have taken a picture from the back, too - just to show the architectural genius of it all.

My thoughts on Idol.
David Cook rocks my world. I was so hoping he'd sing Music of the Night, and he DID. Loved it. He's no Daughtry, but he's still pretty good.
I cannot BELIEVE that Jason Castro is still around, and that Michael Johns went home already.
Syesha was pretty darn awesome tonight as well.
Jason, Carly and Brooke are just wasting time at this point.
My prediction: the final three will be Syesha, David and David, and the final will be between the Davids.
What are your predictions?
